The Annual Renegade BBQ
By Ari Montez
Reporter
On Saturday, Oct. 21 from 1p.m to 5p.m., the Renegade
Promenade and Alumni BBQ will take place on campus,
before the homecoming football game against Moorpark
Raiders.
The Rip spoke with Courtney Carter from the Bakersfield
College Foundation to get an idea of what to expect this
year. The event will feature a variety of different attractions
this year. Such as live music, the alumni BBQ, the beer garden,
different vendors and much more. One adult ticket
will come at the cost of $25 and will include a BBQ dinner
and general admission to the homecoming game. Visitors
can expect to see all the live music performed by the BC students.
Some of which will include the jazz band, choir and
even a performance with Baile Folklorico dancers. There
will also be many different vendors to choose from with different
things. Like churros, agua frescas and a plate of food
to go with the homecoming game that night.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun” Carter added. She also encourages
anybody attending to sign up for the Alumni Association.
The alumni Association is free to sign up and offers
a variety of different benefits. Some of which include, Renegade
football season ticket purchasing priority, free soda at
Renegade home games and much more. The main sponsor
for the Renegade Promenade will be the Human Energy
Company which helps make events like this able for BC to
enjoy. This is the work of many amazing groups on and off
campus who try hard to make events like this enjoyable. Anyone
attending will be accommodated with great food and
entertainment to kick off the annual homecoming game.
HNIP offers internships
By Julian Caro
Reporter
Bakersfield native Andres Burgos, the Associate Director
of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities
(HACU), delivered a
guest lecture regarding the
HACU National Internship
Program (HNIP) in the
Renegade Event Center on
Monday, Oct. 9. The event
was hosted by the MESA
(Mathematics, Engineering,
Science Achievement)
program.
According to Burgos,
HACU’s mission is to “focus
on advocacy and getting
resources for students
that attend HSI’s (Hispanic
Serving Institutions).”
One of the primary ways
in which this is achieved is
through HNIP, which gives
students the opportunity to
intern with different government
agencies. Burgos toted, that their internships are
“extremely unique opportunities” where students do “significant”
and “real time work.”
Internship durations of 15-week are offered during the
JULIAN CARO/THE RIP
Andres Burgos presents HNIP opportunities to MESA students.
fall and spring seasons, with a 10-week internship occurring
during the summer. Additionally full-time, part-time, and remote
positions are all available to best fit a students’ schedule,
and all internships pay $17 per hour.
Internship opportunities can be local or even require temporary
relocation to Washington DC, however HNIP does
help to pay for travel and living
arrangements.
Burgos shared that his team
treats everyone like they are
first generation students, because
there are a lot of firsts
for the student throughout
the process, like traveling, being
in a professional environment,
creating a resume, and
interning for the first time,
which can all be challenging.
Ritik Kumar, peer-mentor
for MESA (Mathematics, Engineering,
Science Achievement)
the organizers of the
event, stated that, “MESA
hosts these events to encourage
students to apply” and
emphasizes the importance
of “students to get these kinds
of exposures especially in STEM.”
The HNIP application opens for the summer session on
November 17; it does not require a GPA to be input and is
open to all majors.

BC performs “As You Like
It” by Shakespeare
Lilli Smyth
Reporter
“As You Like It” was presented at Kern’s 39th Annual Festival.
Directed by Brian J. Sivesind and hosted by Bakersfield
College’s Performing Arts Department. Viewing for the
show was available on Oct. 5, Oct. 7, and will continue on
Oct. 11, and Oct. 13. All plays displayed during this festival
are performed at the Edward Simonsen’s Outdoor Theatre
on the main Bakersfield College Campus.
Known as one of Shakespeare’s more joyful and romantic
comedies, “As You Like It” is about Rosalind, a young
woman whose world is thrown into disorder. Her father has
been usurped, she has been banned from the royal court,
and she must pretend to be a man to disguise her identity.
Even to the love of her life. Her new life is intertwined with
many interesting characters, to her court’s jester, to a lovesick
shepherd.
The cast’s costumes took a more modern approach to the
clothing and comedy, utilizing iconic songs such as “Sound
of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Diamond’s, “I’m a
Believer”, and the court jester’s rendition of Neil Diamond’s
“Sweet Caroline”. Duke Senior and his followers in the Forest
of Ardenne wore stereotypical hippie clothing. The lighting
technicians were skillful in their techniques of color and
spotlight, amplifying some comedic moments on stage.
The Edward Simonsen’s theater was filled with laughter
and applause throughout the performance, marking these
nights a successful reenactment of Shakespeare’s work.
While next year’s plays haven’t been announced, they are
pleasantly anticipated.

Trunk-or-Treat comes to BC
By Julian Caro
Reporter
Bakersfield College will be hosting
this year’s Trunk-or-Treat event on
Oct. 27 in parking lot 3 from 5 p.m. to
8 p.m. The event will feature festively
decorated trunks which will be handing
out candy to children and providing information
and resources to parents/
guardians as well.
While the event is a Halloween festivity,
it is also in honor of Domestic
Violence Awareness Month (DVAM).
The event will provide a chance to better
educate the community on intimate
partner violence and therefore prevent
any possible future incidents or assaults
within the community.
Adrianna Oceguera, BC’s Campus
Prevention Education Specialist,
is overseeing the event for the second
year now. She is inviting the community
to participate, targeting an attendance
of around 1,200 people which is
an increase from last year’s estimated
attendance of 1,000 individuals.
She also urges participation from student
clubs, as the previous year’s event
featured a total of 24 trunks, of which
12 were student organized and 12 were
community organized. A competition
will be held for the best student-led
trunk, best group costume, and best
overall costume in the kids, youth, and
adult categories. Prizes will be awarded
to the winners.
Oceguera established the need for
DVAM awareness and prevention, especially
noting that 20 people every
minute experience a case of intimate
partner violence.
Additionally, she noted that 26.4%
of female students and 6.8% of male
students experience rape or sexual
assault, while 23.1% of transgender,
genderqueer, nonconforming (TGQN)
students experience a case of sexual assault
during undergraduate work.
Oceguera’s goal is to reach “0 assaults”
and “0 incidents” on campus,
through the application of the social
ecological model that starts with educating
the individual and having rippling
effects across a community. The
model will be on display at this year’s
trunk-or-treat.

BC volleyball
wins again
By Samantha Britt
Copy Editor
BC’s volleyball team played
against Antelope Valley College
Wednesday Oct.11 at
6:00p.m.
The team yet again secured
another victory at home. BC
managed to stay undefeated
all three matches.
Through the first match the
team remained on top of their
game, ranking already to 25
points while Antelope Valley
were far behind scoring only
12 points in the end. BC kept
a constant higher score then
Antelope Valley each match,
the second match ended 25-
15 then the third match that
ended the game was 25-12
again.
Aubree Dees and Kya Jones
had a strong defensive front
row, Jones totaling in 25 digs
and Dees with 14 kills by the
end of the game. Jones served
the ball over five times and
each time the opposing team
was unable to complete the
pass, so it was easy points for
BC.
The team had six blocks
throughout the matches, 69
digs and a total of 12 aces.
Faith Ward was a part of
scoring the team four more
aces.
The leaders of this game
were Brianna Bowyer with 14

MLB Playoffs
Sports Buzz
By Gesus Garcia
Reporter
“October Baseball” is
a popular term among
all MLB fans, as it means
it’s time for the postseason
to get underway. Just
in the last five years, the
baseball world has seen
many thrillers and memorable
moments that will
be remembered for a long
time.
In 2019, the Washington
Nationals were at 19-
31 in the middle of May,
with almost no hope of
making the playoffs, let
alone winning the World
Series. But after they
sneaked into the National
League Wild Card, the
Nats pitching staff went
on an incredible run to
capture the franchise’s
first championship. Nevertheless,
the most memorable
moment came from
designated hitter Howie
Kendrick. In Game 7 of
the World Series, Kendrick
hit the go-ahead
homerun to defeat the
Houston Astros 6-2, a
moment that Washington
fans will never forget.
Although the Tampa
Bay Rays were in the losing
end of the 2020 World
Series vs the L.A. Dodgers,
people will be talking
about Brett Phillips’ walkoff
hit in Game 4 for years
down the road. Down 7-6
in the 9th inning, the Rays
utility player smacked a
ball to center field. After
a couple of miscues by
the Dodgers defense, two
runs were able to score,
which at the time allowed
the Rays to tie the series
at two.
Gesus Garcia
The following year saw
the Atlanta Braves win
the World Series for the
first time since 1995. To
get there, they needed
to rely on unsung hero
Eddie Rosario. With superstar
Ronald Acuña Jr.
out for the season, Rosario
was just supposed to
be a below average replacement.
But don’t tell
him that, as Rosario set
a record for most hits in
a playoff series with 14.
The most memorable of
them all was undoubtedly
the three-run homerun
he hit in Game 6 of the
NLCS, which propelled
the Braves to the World
Series.
The 2022 MLB playoffs
were all about Bryce
Harper. Although he fell
short of the title, the twotime
MVP had his signature
moment when he hit
a go-ahead two-run home
run to send the San Diego
Padres home in five games
of the NLCS. As Harper
rounded the bases amid
a roaring Philadelphia
crowd, FOX broadcaster
Joe Davis called it “the
swing of his life.”

Trauma expert visits BC
By Mason Almaguer
Reporter
Last Tuesday on Oct. 11th at the
Campus Center, licensed therapist
Dave Seymour talked about healing
from past trauma.
“We’re all compelled to repeat our
past,” said Seymour, a professional with
25 years of experience in psychology.
He explains that our trauma is reflective
of our childhood and what we went
through during our formative years. He
explained that if you experienced a
traumatic event during childhood, you
will always go back to the mindset you
had then whenever you face adversity.
He said this is normal behavior for
someone who has trauma they haven’t
properly dealt with.
He said that people who discover they
have certain mental issues think it’s genetic
and that they were just born like
that. But, according to Seymour, it has
nothing to do with our origins.
He talked about some misconceptions
relating to trauma. He outlined that as
people we usually interpret it as something
terrible happening in our life and
we remember it years later and still feel
pain from it. But, Seymour explained
that the major issue with trauma is that
people don’t agree that they’ve gone
through trauma.
He continued by saying, “What our
brain registers becomes our reality.”
What we feel and think concerning
ourselves becomes real to us. He explained
that we must learn not to rely
solely on our brain because it can lead
us down the wrong path and make us
perceive things the wrong way.
Continuing, Seymour said that when
people try to make progress they stop
at a certain point. He simply stated,
“We get ahead and then we get back
behind.”
He elaborated that at first the person
is motivated by guilt to move past their
trauma. But, after that motivation is
gone, they feel content and stop making
progress. As a result of this they go right
back to the mindset they were originally
in before all the work they did.
Dave Seymour then turned his attention
to the physical. He said people need
to depend on their bodies to keep them
present and in the moment. They cannot
get lost in their thoughts or let them
be in full control. They must ground
themselves in the physical realm to stop
themselves from thinking of the past.
Overall, he discussed being aware of
yourself and where you are mentally
and physically. If you aren’t then you
will not know when you’re being pulled
away from your “new life.” You won’t
be able to move on from the past and
truly experience the present.
Deep Cuts: religion in music
By Ari Montez
Reporter
The semester’s second installation
of Deep Cuts and Conversation took
place on Oct. 11. Where BC professors
Reggie Williams and Kyle Burnham
and students discussed religious undertones
in music.
The conversation began with one student
and member of the audience requesting
they play the song, “Take me
out” by Franz Ferdinand. The track has
a descending bassline that is pleasant to
the ear. Kyle Burnham shared with the
audience that the Scottish rock band
was inspired by music played in American
sports like football while making
the song.
The next song played was “Bombtrack”
by Rage Against the Machine
and was also suggested by another audience
member for its connection to
protesting and religion. Kyle quickly
pointed out the unique rhythm section
which displayed a more laid-back feel

video.
while the lead guitar and vocals were
delivered with high intensity.
On the subject of protest music,
Kyle made his next choice and played
“Burning Beard” by the band Clutch.
Reggie first pointed out the “Pentecostal
overtones” which featured the band
playing in church to a crowd of robots.
He also touched on the theme of unconditional
faith in the lyrics and how it
could potentially harm one’s ability to
think freely.
The final selection was “The Patient”
by TOOL. The seven-minute track was
picked by Reggie continuing the subject
of religion. He spoke a little bit about
the double meaning behind the word
patient and how it related to religious
followers of any kind. The song starts
slowly but eventually builds up and tells
a greater story on how the lead singer
deals with his own struggles with faith.
“My favorite part about Deep Cuts
is just getting to sit down with students
and music professionals and just appreciating
good music,” Reggie Williams
said.
The final installment of Deeps Cuts
and Conversations is scheduled for Nov.
8 at 1:30 p.m.

Speaker on Chicano history
By Madeline Ruebush
Editor in Chief
BC welcomed UCLA professor Juan Herrera to discuss geography
and Chicano/a history on Wednesday, Oct. 11 as a
part of the Levan Center’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage
Month.
Herrera is a PhD graduate at Berkely and a recently tenured
professor at UCLA. Herrera’s talk “The Struggle Continues!
Latinx Geographies and Why Thinking Relationally
Matters” asked “what does it mean for us to celebrate Hispanic
heritage month with a special lens?”
“I’m interested in how human beings create space,” Herrera
stated after his introduction; he thinks of himself as a
“storyteller of space.”
Much of Herrera’s understanding of space and activism
stems from his research surrounding Fruitvale, a Latinx community
in Oakland with origins from the 1960s civilrights
era.
When interviewing Chicano activists from that era, he discovered
that a lot of them remembered their experiences
through the physical locations they interacted with.
One older activist he interviewed decided to draw up map
to explain to organizations that she helped create or interacted
with during her time empowering the Chicano community.
To explain this phenomenon, he coined the term “cartographic
memory,” which is in the title of his first book:
“Cartographic Memory: Social Movement Activism and the
Production of Space.”
“I’ve learned that so much of social struggle is spacebased,”
he continued later in the talk, emphasizing how
Fruitvale’s community spaces would not have been possible
without activists’ intent to make them.
Participants were then able to ask Herrera questions before
the event wound down.
Attending the event was BC English professor Richard
Marquez who personally connected with Herrera’s talk. “It
made me realize that we have those spaces here,” Marquez
said, explaining how his grandparents participated in the
“Juarez” organization in Bakersfield which continues to serve
the community to this day.
Hopeful UCLA transfer and current BC student Lorenzo
Gomez found the talk “enlightening,” and stating that attending
made him feel less intimidated to attend UCLA.
The Levan Center will be hosting two other guest speakers
for Hispanic Heritage
Month. On
Oct. 18, BC Alumnus
Cuca Montoya
will showcase
her art in the Levan
Center, and
on Oct. 24 Monica
Castellanos will
present “Saving
Lives: The work
of Consul Gilberto
Bosques in
France” in Spanish
at the BC Ballroom.

Does BC really give a crap?
By Honey Crowder
Reporter
HONEY CROWDER/THE RIP
(Left) Gender-neutrual bathroom with a wall hole.
(Right) Student Life Office bathroom.
It is no secret that Bakersfield College has been getting a
major facelift as Covid-19 loosens its grip on campus, but are
our bathrooms going down the toilet?
In the Language Arts building more than a hundred students
now are at the mercy of two toilets on the second floor.
While the bathrooms have been converted to gender-neutral
the campus has continued to improve its fight for gender
equality, but it stands to question what exactly has been improved.
From a giant hole in the wall due to a missing cover, drab
lighting, and a sloppily finished paint job, the left bathroom
was akin to an abandoned warehouse. The right bathroom
at least looked better as it was fully finished except for a dim
and dirty light.
Students have described the discrepancy between the Student
Life building bathrooms and the Language Arts bathroom
as huge, with some even saying that the Student Life
bathrooms look like a hotel while the Language Arts bathrooms
resembled a sketchy gas station.
Students may also miss class waiting for the bathroom as
some students stated that they have almost missed half of
their lectures because of the minimal available toilets.
Students who decide not to occupy the depressing-looking
bathrooms now rely on port-a-potties located near the
front door outside with no knowledge of how often they are
cleaned, emptied, or refilled with basic necessities such as
toilet paper or soap. Students who do have to use the porta-potties
may not even get the chance to properly wash their
hands as the wash station
may go on without being
replenished with water.
And other students are
unable to use them at all
as they are non-wheelchair
accessible.
As we start to get deeper
into the semester, many
question if the port-apotties
are a temporary
fix or are the students in
deep doo-doo.

Port-a-potties and wash station

Exorcist is frightfully bad
By Trevor Glenn
Reporter
“The Exorcist” franchise returns to theaters 50 years after
the original film. It fails to compare where it can’t compete.
The original was such a trailblazer and is still a strong movie
today. David Gordon Green’s try at the franchise is extremely
forgettable.
Green’s latest installment to the franchise serves as a direct
continuation of the 1973 film, ignoring the other four in the
series. In 2021, Universal Studios bought the rights to the
franchise for the devilish price of an estimated $400 Million.
This, compared to the $27 Million made from opening week
is underwhelming.
“The Exorcist: Believer” serves as the first film in a new
expected trilogy. Due to the poor response from critics and
audiences, it’s hard to imagine Universal greenlighting the
following two movies but only time will tell. This movie feels
like a far cry from its original counterpart. When it comes
to remakes or soft reboots, you need a strong trust from fans
you won’t ignore its predecessor. Green should know this by
now, considering the response to his “Halloween” franchise
reboot.
This movie stars Lidya Jewett and Olivia O’Neill as two
childhood friends who become victim to the demon of this
film. These girls performed great considering they don’t have
many lines outside of being possessed. They were as scary as
they could be given how lame the script was and how embarrassingly
obvious the scares were. The original film stared
Linda Blair as Regan McNeal, a young girl possessed by the
demon, Puzuzu.
This film could have done so much with the demon and it’s
dynamic against two bodies but failed to make it interesting.
There is no real correlation from this movie to the original
and the plot feels spoon-fed to the audience. We do have
returning characters, but they are hardly utilized and seem
to only be there for the sake of returning fans. The actual
Exorcism act of the film feels rushed and unsatisfying as the
big climax.
In all, the only frighting thing about this movie was how
bad it was. Hopefully Universal can revive the franchise
again at their next attempt with “The Exorcist: Deceiver.”

Wanted: Moderate
Speaker
By Jared Buys
Reporter
We need a moderate speaker.
Someone who’s voice will potentially
guide the U.S. House of
Representatives in a way that can
overcome partisan favor and usher
in a period of political savvy, however
unlikely it is we get one.
Oct. 3 saw a major move occur
in the framework of American
politics. Bakersfield-native Kevin
McCarthy, former speaker of the
house, was ousted from office in
a vote-of-no-confidence bid to reform
the Republican power base.
While Kevin McCarthy enjoyed
support from some corners of his
party, a solid portion of Republicans
in congress are outspoken
critics, mostly from the pro-Trump
wing. In fact, there was even talk of
Trump temporarily filling the role,
no doubt a premeditated power
play orchestrated by McCarthy’s
chief ouster, Congressman Matt
Gaetz, who represents Florida’s
First Congressional District.
Among accusations of cronyism
and Trump’s cult of personality
running wild in Republican circles,
dividing the party, as well as onehalf
of the U.S., democrats have
been dealing with their own minor
cataclysms.
Both President Joe Biden and his
son Hunter Biden are not without
their own controversies, and recently
2024 presidential hopeful
Robert Kennedy Jr. has abandoned
ship on the Democrats for an Independent
Party run.
This all must coincide with the
shift in foreign relations strategy.
According to Reuters, some 52-
61% of Democrats favor backing
the Ukrainian aid effort in their
in their effort in their war against
Putin’s all-in-but-name totalitarian
regime, while under half of
Republicans are in favor. Without
even considering the affect independent
voters in the landscape,
military backing seems to not be
the exclusively Republican thing it
was once thought to be. That position
is almost laughably ironic,
given the Republicans’ unwavering
support of Israel.
I am of course not condemning
Israeli support, especially in the
wake of unprecedented Hamas
terrorist attacks from Gaza which
led to over 1200 Israeli deaths and
nearly as many Palestinian deaths
in retaliatory efforts.
My point is that the current political
climate, both foreign and
domestic, can sorely afford to be
so divisive. Infighting here in the
U.S. is not going to help us help
our allies nor aid in humanitarian
initiatives that will follow these conflicts.
It will not help the search for
a level-headed, mediatory speaker
of the house. Someone who will
bridge the gap in America’s heart
and help steer the country toward
more stability, away from political
extremes on either the right or the
left.
As of writing this, Kevin McCarthy
could still regain his position,
but House Republicans have nominated
House of Representatives
Majority Leader Steve Scalise to
succeed him. Time will tell if a
moderate voice appears in the most
powerful role in congress.
